Fantastic macro, Tjutjut!
Great colours and so sharp!

I just ordered that lens last week. Hope it's note back-order from Canon.

What do you think of it? Is it easy to take photos with it as it doesn't have ism? and only manual focus?
Let me know what you think

Cheers my friend! :)

Hi Tjutjut. Your macros are like a professional work these days. The detail visible is everything even an entymologist would need. Inspiring what you can achieve. TFS. Murray.

Hello Tjutjut. Awesomely super macro composition here. Dekatnya dan sangat tajam fokusnya. The eyes are like mash wire and the mouth is in vivid details looking rather scary. Very well shot macro in flawless sharpness and detail. Well done! Jusni
